Note that if you run date on either the Linux desktop on your full size system or on the 770/n800 it's returns a 24 hour clock. Mon Jan 29 18:24:39 PST 2007 Now depending on what clock program I run on my desktop (kde WM) I get either a 12 hour or 24 hour output. Kind of like what panel clock does. It gives 24 hour output. Even though clock doesn't. James > > _______________________________________________ > maemo-users mailing list > maemo-users at maemo.org > https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
